Fruit Salad...Yummy Yummy


I made a fruit salad with a little colorful twist. There are fresh mandarin oranges to the side and then I tinted some crushed pineapples green, cut apples into flower shapes and a heart shape. Then I took a little water added some lemon and food coloring. (the lemon helps the apple from browning) I used a small paint brush and loaded it with the colored lemon water and painted the tops of the apples!

Lots of Veges and Fruit!


Since I got my Fresh in Oki delivery yesterday I decided to pack the kids obento full of fresh fruits and veges! I also made star shaped onigiri with steamed rice that I tinted with yellow food coloring and put in little quail eggs for some protein! The star onigiri is accompanied by edamame and flower shaped carrots! In the bottom tier of my daughters bento is heart shaped pear apples, fat juicy grapes, 1 quail egg and fresh Okinawa pumpkin that I seasoned with a little cinnamon and brown sugar! In the bottom tier of my sons bento is the same, minus the grapes! (He does not like them) The food picks are cute little animals that I thought would add a little more cuteness!!!


FRESH IN OKI


I wanted to share my wonderful experience with FRESH IN OKI! I received my 1st delivery today! Fresh In Oki is a great fruit and vege delivery service here on Okinawa! The freshest of fruit and veges are brought right to your front door! For an extra $5 you can have tropical flowers delivered along with your fruit/veges! HOW FABULOUS is that!!! I was thrilled when my bag arrived! I ordered the "HYBRID" which is a fruit/vege mix bag! I just wanted to share the pic of my goodies and flowers!
